FIRE. - Yesterday morning about 10
o'clock an alarm of fire was sounded from
box 25, Second and X streets. The depart
ment was soon on hand, and found the
blaze to be in room on the second floor
of the Union Hotel. With the aid of
Babcock sextinguisher the fire was quickly
subdued. The fire was caused by the
chimney getting overheated. This ignited
some clothing in a closet, which soon be-
came enveloped in flames. The loss of
clothing and furniture will amount to
about $40. 1t might be said, to their credit,
that No. rs engine and hose reached the
scene in a remarkably short time, but their
services were not needed.
